Count to a Trillion
Dead center of the road by reviewers
What do I know
I know I finished the book
I never finish what I don't enjoy
John C. Wright has written an intriguing story
I liked the science, be it real or imagined
Most important to me with this story, it felt real
I really liked the "long view" of time
The story stretched my thinking
Our lives are such a tiny blip on the screen
I think he got humanities wasteful trivialization spot on
An abundance of energy in this story is squandered
The protagonist is a trash talking Texan
Reminded me of Joe R. Lansdale stories
I'm reading one at the moment
Laudable in my thinking, I like Joe
What will our first encounter with aliens be
I shudder to think
We can be so great, We can be so petty
Music for a convoluted love story
Within a convoluted story
Love is Hell by Ryan Adams
Hum'n And Shiver'n
The Kirkus Reviews can be a little
Well, snotty comes to mind
I always have to read other reviews
To get to the truth
This one they got right in spades
Named it one of the best SF books of the year
The Hum and the Shiver by Alex Bledsoe
Great story telling
Wonderful characters, good and bad
Satisfying finish
Made me think of Phillip Pullman
He never finishes with saccharine sweetness
Just what needs to be
Folk music for a back woodsy SF folk tale
Divine Providence by Deer Tick

Space Opera / Steampunk / Western / Romance! WHAT?
To begin with, It is in the SF collection
I do not shy away from any of the genera
Romance may be a trail less traveled
But I still walk the trail
A. S. Byatt's, Possession: a Romance comes to mind
Winner of the Mann Booker Award (1990)
And rightly so
The Hunter by Theresa Meyers is a riot
The Legend Chronicles, book #1
No heavy lifting here, but
Great Pacing, Action, Gadgetry, Magic and Romance
This Cowboy Shoot'mUp blends all, seamlessly
The romance smolders, and smolders,and smolders
Book #2, The Slayer, will arrive in April
I will read it. I look forward to reading it

I went for a space opera
You will never guess what I ended up with
Space Opera / ROMANCE
Darkscape:Redemption by R. Garland Gray
It may start with a smolder
Not long into the story the flames burn brightly
None the less, an enjoyable escape
Clans rule and sociopolitical machination abound
The protagonist is gene warped
It was short, quick and sassy
I will probably sneak back and read book 1
Darkscape: The Rebel Lord
But, I'm a guy, Its Romance, I'm not telling
Then again maybe I will
AHHHH! Was that a Judy Blume reference?
So Romance? Music?
Sade, Soldier of Love
Nice sound

Time Out Of Mind Or Something
Ryan Boudinot has trashed my brain
Blueprints of the Afterlife shredded me
A not too distant
But distant none the less, Future
Characters appealing, appalling
Characters utterly disgusting
Characters endearing and entertaining
You need to strap yourself down at the start
It's not an inner ear problem
Makes complete sense once your attuned
Scary thought there
I'll not spoil this delight
Trying to describe it would be foolish
Enjoy!
Music to ground you when you return

Everything 80's And Tense Dangerous Gaming
Ernest Cline is known or not known
For his screenplay of the movie Fanboy
I did not know this and do not care
Ready Player One I care about
This Blitzkrieg romp through the 80's
Music and All Things Geeky is a screamer
Had no idea I knew so much trivia
But then again I was alive and it was the 80s
This near future landscape is frightening
The trailer park burbscape with
Trailers and RVs stacked high
Just too frighteningly possible
The pages blister your fingers as they turn
The action is non stop
Most of the action is in the "virtual" world
But tense and high stakes none the less
The protagonists is absolutely my kind of guy
Young, Socially Naive and Very Bright
What's the story
The designer of the OASIS
The virtual world most people
Spend most of their time in, dies
Who ever figures out his game gets it all
Individuals, groups and evil corporations
One and all are vying for the prize
Mega Bucks and Mega Control of OASIS
Apropos of our times
Ry Cooder's newest
A bopping commentary on our times
